The Top Products We’ve Featured, on Sale for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is live and the 48-hour shopping event has become something of an overwhelming barrage of deals and countdowns all designed to make you click that “buy now” button. But in truth, it's also a great time to stock up on staples or if you've been holding off on buying that new beard trimmer or air purifier, this is when you can typically score the best price of the year.We've pulled together a quick list of all the Valet.-approved products that are currently marked down for Prime Day—many of which won't be this cheap again for a while. And remember that the better the deal, the quicker an item might sell out. So pull that trigger before they run out or the sale expires.Of course, if you don't have an Amazon Prime subscription, now's the time to take advantage of their free month trial. You not only get complimentary one- or two-day shipping, but there are plenty of other perks like a free year of Grubhub+ with $0 delivery fees and access to Twitch gaming and Prime Video, along with Amazon Music and the largest catalog of top podcasts without ads.

The Best Prime Day Alternatives to Shop
We’re in the full swing of Prime Day, but the e-commerce Goliath isn't the only sale in town—plenty of other retailers are jumping in. While Amazon has everything you can imagine and then some, the flash sales come and go and even the Prime event is only for two days. Some of our favorite stores are now offering excellent discounts that will last throughout the entire month. Whether you need a new vacuum or some summer footwear, we've picked a few of the hottest items online that aren't on Amazon. Hopefully, you're Apple Pay is set up and ready to go.

A certain breed of 2000s-era point-and-shoots are trending. But unlike other Y2K revivalism, this might be a welcome return.”
